Message-ID: Hi Sky! :) It's technically just one big locker with a pin number, but there's no practical way to secure the shelves separately. I thought it could be useful for high value shared items that need a bit more security. Like drills, camera equipment etc. The holes at the top and bottom can fit a UK plug so you could have stuff charging in-place. The angled shelves would be great for parts storage, they already have metal dividers. Personally I would love to have a comprehensive stock of iso standard and imperial nuts and bolts, or maybe make some foam cutouts for smaller tools. Very easy to add under-shelf led strips too. Many options if there's space for it.

It's free, we have transport. I suggested some uses earlier in the thread, and members I spoke to on Monday had ideas too. Having the space to separate "mechanical parts and tools" from "electronics" in two different cabinets will definitely help organisation. The only safety issue is that if it falls on a member, they will definitely die. It's very heavy. That does make it very stable too though, so I think we'll be ok. :) My thoughts on displaced items... The brainfarts board can be moved to the unused whiteboard above the vinyl cutter. A pack of 20 button-style magnets is only ?5. Might be more visible there anyway. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Button-Magnets-Fridge-Memo-Magnet-Notice-Board-/322837187583 As for the cupboard, I don't know... by the photocopier maybe? If it's the same height as the table that could work well.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Matt, Don't know whether the space has a sewing machine, but I can give a little bit of advice: Find a decent YKK zip of similar materials/dimensions as the current one. Don't even bother with other brands of zipper. You will definitely want a machine for this project. Hand sewing zips is possible, but one that long will be hard to do without error. Further, make sure the machine you find has a "zipper foot." This is pretty much essential unless you are a pro with a sewing machine. If we do have a machine/you find one, I would be happy to show you how to use it on a Monday/Wednesday crafternoon. Cannot guarantee that you won't sew yourself to the material though.

It is a wood cutting blade, and should also be fine for plastics but I would appreciate it if it wasn't used to cut metals, there are other blades in the tin that are better suited and less expensive, if you don't know how to change the blade and change the speed of the saw correctly then ask for help, I'd much rather spend 10 minutes showing someone how to do it properly than have the saw broken again, have to buy more blades, or worse still someone have an accident from doing something unsafe.

My thanks to Liz for the info and the excellent tips she gave me recently. Ceri, It sounds a good idea but this is actually quite a precisely shaped piece of plastic and I don't think that there are precise designs out there. There is no way I could have designed it without one to copy. Besides that I was on a tight schedule. and there would not have been time.
